Unique solutions for unique problems

BriTec is a custom manufacturer of shielded solutions for ionising radiation in hospitals, academia, and radioisotope producers. Together with Southern Scientific, our solutions are built for radiopharmacists, medical physicists, and nuclear medicine technicians, prioritising safety, efficiency, and compliance.

We build and design a range of customized cabinets, storage units, and dispensing stations, manufactured to your precise dimensional requirements. Each unit is engineered to integrate seamlessly into existing workflows to support aseptic technique, contamination control, and operator protection.

Supplying new and existing sites

BriTec has also collaborated extensively with architects and structural engineers during the building and refurbishment of radiopharmacy facilities, enabling shielding to be integrated from the ground up. Whether retrospectively fitting equipment into existing or new facilities, our unique solutions allow you to:

Maximize available lab space by ensuring each installation is tailored to your site’s layout.
Rationalise workflows for more efficient isotope handling and dispensing.
Optimize radiation protection through carefully engineered shielding solutions.

Machining to precise requirements

BriTec’s machine workshop in Sheffield allows us to manufacture large and small shielding products to precise requirements utilizing tungsten or lead for shielding, or a combination of the two. Whether you’re looking to dispense and handle isotopes or simply store radioactive materials safely, we can provide a solution unique to you.
